BBC Proms Season 2018 Episode 4 - Schumann and Boulanger

Airdate: 2018-Jul-22

Episode summary:

Romantic titans Schumann and Mendelssohn share the night's bill with a pair of phenomenal female composers who died 100 years ago. Schumann's Fourth Symphony is the climax of this concert, which also includes work by Lili Boulanger, the first ever female winner of the prestigious Prix de Rome, and Welsh composer Morfydd Owen. Owen's Nocturne is the perfect way for the BBC National Orchestra of Wales to mark its 90th anniversary year, while acclaimed French pianist Bertrand Chamayou performs Mendelssohn's First Piano Concerto - all under the baton of Thomas Sondergard.
